Choose 08...intro...

They always say, "this is the most important blah blah of our time."

Well maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. But this team of Drexel University students will get into it summer of 2008 (while we're not at the beach, or soaking up the free AC at the library)...

Get into IT.

Into the nooks and crannies, the issues the media has forgotten because a cat got stuck in a tree, or a congressman was caught with his pants down.

Issues not invective.

Cindy McCain, next first lady?

Okay, so I agree with everyone else who said that this article was meant to make Cindy McCain seem like a great right hand to John McCain. Yes, she has been a patient wife and a caring mother. She has been through many hard situations in her life like the three miscarriages, a long distance marriage, and her addiction; but yet, she managed to stay focused in her family and her community. She became a stronger woman during her life with John McCain even though she felt alone most of the time. What I want to know is if the McCains knew the possibility that this article may make John McCain look like a bad role model for a family man.

I mean Cindy is his second wife. I have nothing against divorces who remarry, but wouldn't a good family man/husband try to resolve his problems with his spouse or any other problems in the house. Maybe his first wife wasn't as strong as Cindy, and she couldn't stand raising a family by herself; but I believe that if a man vows "to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part" to a woman, both sides should work very hard to try to stay in the marriage. It seems as though John McCain didn't really try to work on his marriage with his first wife. He started seeing Cindy before he got divorced. I don't know if I would want the next president to not try as hard as he should at issues that need to be solved.

Cindy should have expected the attention that is given to her and her family since her husband is a politician, especially as a candidate for presidency. Every action that they make counts because the public will always compare these actions to how John McCain would act as the President. Also because his family can greatly affect his decisions on issues that the country are facing.

Overall, I have a lot of respect for Cindy McCain for staying strong all these years serving the community and being a good wife and mother. She is a very supportive person and if I were in her position, I would've probably stuck to my addiction or just left my husband.
